SS Raman's Realisation
Part 27
Apke! Aap he crazy ho!
"Chalo lets go for the game!" Romi spoke on the mike.
Ashok came to Raman and whispered as Romi explained the game, "Listen, Raman I have an urgent call from the office. I'll have to leave..."
Adi who had just come to the party with Vandita, Shravan and Ruhi heard that. "Aree Ashok Uncle stay for some time."
"No, beta I have some urgent work will hav eto leave."
"Ohk! Then, see you soon. I'm happy that you and dad are all sorted now. Ishima ne bataya! Thanks, uncle." Adi said smiling.
Raman also smiled while Ashok looked amazed, "Ishita is a magician. A boy who had forgotten words like respect, thanks and manners is living those. I'm happy to see that I took the right decision."
"In deed, my mom is the best!" Adi smiled.
"Of course after all wife kiski hai?" Raman said proudly.
"Meri mom hai isley amazing hai!" Adi said stubbornly.
"Haan toh? Aur meri wife hai isley aisi hai!" Raman too said stubbornly.
Ashok looked around exasperated and then back again to the father-son duo who was still bickering. Ashok was about to stop the fight when he noticed Ishita coming. He looked at her helplessly she just nodded in return assuring him that he could leave and he did the same.
Ishita stood there for a while trying to make her presence felt when nothing happened she spoke up, "Hum party mein hai! Aur mein pehle Ruhi ki mom hu isley Raman apki wife and Adi apki mom! Ab Romi jo bol raha hai suno!" Ishita spoke angrily while Adi and Raman looked embarrassed to be caught red handed. "Sorry!" they mumbled.
"I have three kids!" Ishita shook her head and went to stand with Mihika while Adi laughed as she went. "Dad you are the third kid and I'm the first so Meri mom pehle huyi! I won!" he ran off before Raman could collect his thoughts and an answer.
Haad hai! Adi toh mujhse bhi smart nikla! He said to himself a little loudly.
"Koi nahi Bhai! Apka he khoon hai!" Mihir said smiling.
"Haan! Woh toh hai!" Raman pulled his collar proudly.
"Chalo game ke liye! Suna hai apka idea hai?" Mihir said teasingly.
Shit! Isne kaha suna! Ye Romi ke muhe pet oh kabhi tala lag he nahi sakta!
"Chalo Bhai jaldi karo apko kuch batana bhi hai!" Romi came in. Name the devil and devil appears. Raman, isse poochna toh padega! Lagta hai bike ka lock kafi nahi hai! "Ek kaam kar tuchal Mihir mein aata hu!"
Once Mihir left Raman asked Romi. "Problem kya hai teri? Chup nahi reh sakta!"
"How can I leave a chance to trouble you? That's against the pride of Romi uff Romesh Chandra Bhalla!" Romi smiled.
Ye aise nahi manene wala ek baar Ishita ka wo embarrassment wala lecture sunega na jo mein... oye! Ye huyi na baat!
"Tujhe kya pata teri bhabhi kitna gussa hongi jab usse pata chala ki ye sab tune kiya tab sunna tum uska lecture..." Raman smiled secretly.
"Sachi Bhai? Bhabhi upset hongi? Ohk! Promise ainda mein aise nahi karonga! Nahi toh bhabhi ko hurt hoga na? Mein bhabhi ko sorry bol dunga! Wo lecture suna de lakin gussa na ho!" Romi confessed and left.
Abbe yaar! Ye toh haad he hai! Ye Romi ko Ishita ke gusse se darr lagta hai! Sabko apni taraf kar liya! Jadoogar kahiki! Raman made a sulking face and moved to the stage.
He saw the whole family angrily stare at something behind him, curiously he turned back to see what was it.
He was furious to see Simmi walk in with Parmeet. Only smiling faces around where Param, Simmi and Shagun. Everyone apart from the family elders didn't share the fury with Raman as they weren't aware of the true colours of Parmeet. Simmi who was warned yet chose to support Param over her family.
Being on the stage and between the outsiders Raman could not say anything and let him enter.
"Ye yaha kya kar raha hai?" Mr. Bhalla spoke softly so that only the family members could hear.
"Patani, papaji? Kisne bulaya isse?" Romi said disapprovingly.
Toshiji shook her head, "Isme na pata hone wali ki gal hai? Simmi ne bulaya hai iss khote nu!" (I'm bad at hindi myself left it in class 6th. Thanks to daily soaps and bollywood movies still in touch with it! ;) So here is the Translation for my dear friend shifajoomun : There is nothing to think about it! Simmi has called this idiot!)
"Chalo ab Chado! Let's just start the game! Raman Bhai aap pareshaan mat ho! Bhabhi ke saath hum sab hai!" Mihir smiled at everyone.
"But where is akka?" Mihika asked surprised.
Just when Raman about go madly hunting for his wife he saw her climb the stage with Adi, Ruhi and Shravan. "Ye Bacche judge karenge! Jao Sharvu aur Ruhi Romi chachu se whistle le lo and Adi aap Simmi bua ko leke aao upar stage pe!" Ishita instructed her kids and passed an assuring smile to the family. Once the kids left, "Tension lene ki koi baat nahi hai!" she then turned to Raman, "I know Raman jab tak aap mere pass ho I'm safe. Wo Parmeet se pyaar karti hai, isley aise kar rahi hai lakin Simmi ko hum party ke baad samjhayenge!"
Raman's lips curved up in a smile. "You amaze me every time Ishita!"
"Of course! Akhir beti kiski hai!" Toshiji smiled.
"Meri!" Mrs. Iyer smiled.
"Thi! Lakin ab wo meri beti hai!" they both started bickering. Everyone left for the game while Raman and Ishita stood staring at their mothers. Then looked at each other and started laughing, "Humare he parents hai!" Raman shrugged his shoulders.
"Apke! Aap he crazy ho!" Ishita went off smiling.
